EPOC document File Type The file type list enables you to choose the EPOC document type to apply during synchronization This file type can serve as source file type and or target file type depending on the setting specified in the Synchronization Rules Property Page If the binding was defined specifically without conversion this list will be disabled and will show the text No conversion Synchronization Rules Also part of each binding s properties is a set of Synchronization rules The next topic explains how to access and change the synchronization rules for an existing binding and for all new bindings 7 Synchronization rules A set of synchronization rules apply to each binding When a binding is first defined the default synchronization rules are applied These rules may be accessed and modified later by editing the binding properties The default synchronization rules that are applied to new bindings can also be accessed and modified All this is done from the Synchronization Rules property page Synchronization Rules Property Page The synchronization rules property page enables you to define a set of rules for the synchronizer process to apply to a given binding This property page is present in two dialog boxes Binding Properties dialog box Settings that only affect the selected binding Options dialog box Settings saved as default settings for future bindings Item properties The Synchronization Dir
